Use one of the following categories:
F (Critical correction)
A (corresponds to a correction in an earlier release)
B (Addition of feature),
C (Functional modification of feature)
D (Editorial modification)
Reason for change:
1.
Allow using local copies of OGC-specified XML Schema Documents
without needing to make any modifications to copied documents.
2.
Help ensure that all OGC schema repository documents are valid XML
Schema Documents.
Summary of change: Change all XML Schema Documents in the OGC schema repository (at
http://schemas.opengis.net/) to use relative paths in all include and import
statements
Consequences if
not approved:
In order to use local copies of XML Schema Documents which use absolute
paths to other documents, the copied documents must often be modified to use
local copies of other copied documents. Use of local copies is required in at
least three circumstances:
1.
Servers and clients on an intranet not connected to the Internet will fail to
read XML Schema Documents having absolute paths without modifications to
the referencing documents.
3.
Editing sets of XML Schema Documents to produce revised and new
sets.
4.
Use of XML Schema Documents having absolute paths on computers
(such as laptops) while not connected to the Internet.
Clauses affected:
XML Schema Documents having absolute paths in import statements

Abstract specifications
Recommendation Papers
This change request can be more efficiently implemented if combined with other
pending requests, especially OGC 05-068r1. The attached modified XML
Schema Documents in the OGC schema repository thus include those changes.
Included in the zip file with this change request are a revised set of the XML Schema Documents
now in the OGC schema repository (at http://schemas.opengis.net/), modified per this change
request and change request OGC 05-068r1.
